I don't see how they could mess up Star Wars any worse than how Lucas has already.

This. Without George Lucas Directing the only way they can go is up, And think of what Disney did to Marvel these last few years.

I'm actually a tad excited.

Hear, hear. I'd have been worried about Disney buying LucasFilm 15 years ago, but Lucas has since done at least as much damage as any giant corporation could have. Disney, for all its faults, at least treats its hit movies as timeless classics, while Lucas developed a weird obsession with fixing 30-year-old movies that people liked just fine.

The question is, will this affect the Star Wars comics being published by Dark Horse?

From a buisness point of view, I don't know why they would. Disney owns Marvel comics, why liceance the book out to another company when they have their own. Besides, the first Star Wars comics were from Marvel anyway.

I was a bit suprised at first but after some thought I think you're right. I've never liked his needless tinkering.

So far, Disney has not tried to "Disneyfy" Pixar or Marvel, and I believe they'll allow LucasFilm to keep its own unique flavor.

If it's true what they say, that GOD created us in His image, then why should we not love creating, and why should we not continue to do so, as carefully and ethically as we can, on whatever scale we're capable of?

The choice is simple; refuse to create, and refuse to grow, or build, with care and love.
